GOSPEL HARi
There will be as many classes in So
ciety as now, but the classes will not
be regulated by birth, or wealth, or
accident, bnt by the scale of virtue and
benevolence. the people will be assign

cial life will be attuned, and there will
be twelve in every dozen, and sixteen
ounces in every pound, and apples at
the bottom Of the barrel will be as
sound as those on the top, and silk
goods will not be cotton, and sellers
will not have to charge honest people
more than the right prices because the
others will not pay, and goods will

CHR,s 4IANITY IN ACCORD I THE
HEAVENLY SONG.
In the sixteenth century the singers
called the Fischer brothers reached the
lowest bass " recorded. and the
highest note gel trilled was by La
Bastardella, and Catalini's voice had q
compass OF three and a half octaves;
but Christianity is more wonderful; for
it runs all up and down the greatest
heights and the deepest DEF this Of the
worlds necessity, and it will m
everything and bring it in accord with
the song which the morning stars sang
at the laying of the worlds corner
stone. All the sacred music in homes,
and concert halls and churches tends
toward this contamination. Make II
more and more hearty. Sing in your
families. Sing in your places of bust
ness If we with proper spirit use
these faculties, we are rehearsing for
the skies.

wonder IL, as sometime on earth a tune
Is fashioned out of many tunes. or it is
one tune with the variations, so some
OF the songs of the redeemed may have
playing through them the songs of
earth, and how thrilling rs coming
through the great anthem of the saved,
accompanied by harpers with their
harps, and trumpcters with their trump
cts, we should hear some of the strains
OF Antioch, and Mount Pisgah, and
Coronation, and Lenox, and st. Mar
tins, and Fountain, and Ariel, and
Old Hundred. How they would bring
to mind the praying circles, and COM
munion days, and Christmas festivals,
and the church worship in which on
earth we mingled! l have no idea that
when we bid farewell to earth we are
to bid farewell to all these grand old
Gospel hymns, which melted and rap
tured our souls for so many years.
Now, my friends, if sin is discord and
righteousness is harmony, let us get
OF the one and enter the other.
After u dreadful civil war was over,
and in the summer of 1869, a great
national

was held IN Boston, and as an elder of
this church had been honored by the
selection OF some of his music, to be
rendered on that occasion, l accom-
panied HIM to the jubilee. Forty thou
sand people sat and stood in the great
coliseum erected for that purpose.
Thousands of wind and stringed instru-
Twelve thousand trained

rolling on and up in surges that bill
lowed against tho heavens. The
MIGHTY CADENCE
Within were accompanied on the out
side by the ringing of the bells of the
city and cannon on the commons, in ex-
act time with the music discharged by
electricity, laundering their awful bars
of "A harmony that astounded all ma
tions. Sometimes l bowed my head

voices were in full chorus, and all the

Gang, and all the towers of the city
rolled IN their majestic sweetness, and
the whole building quaked with the
boom of thirty cannon, Parepa Rosa,
with q voice that will never again be
equalled on earth until the archangelic

longer, rose obove all other sounds in
her rendering of our national air, the
